In her previous life, Fang Qing's parents passed away one after another, and she herself tragically died in a dark, sunless mental hospital.
Upon opening her eyes again, she unexpectedly ...
Chapter 225 Liu Sisi's Embarrassment
Chapter 226 Liu Sisi's Embarrassment
Fang Qing and Wen Ning have been busy with their respective work recently and have not had time to meet each other until they received a call from Qin Xue, asking them to attend her engagement ceremony.
Qin Xue and Bai Xiaofeng's relationship has gradually stabilized since the last incident. Bai Xiaofeng himself is also very motivated. His businesses are becoming more and more prosperous this year, allowing other members of the Bai family to gradually see Bai Xiaofeng's talent in business, slowly abandon their prejudice against him, and agree to let him work in the Bai Family Group.
After several months of training, Bai Xiaofeng has now been officially identified as the next president of the Bai Group.
As the business dealings between the Qin and Bai families became closer, the relationship between the two families gradually stabilized. The parents of both sides finally picked an auspicious day and decided to have the two children.
Originally they wanted to get married right away, but Qin Xue suddenly complained to Bai Xiaofeng that the progress was too fast. Bai Xiaofeng, who doted on his wife, proposed to get engaged first, and when Qin Xue had enough fun, the two of them would get officially married.
Because it was an engagement party, only very close relatives and friends were invited to attend, and in order to ensure privacy and safety, the Bai family’s suburban villa was specially selected to hold the event.
It was a nice, sunny day.
The two finally finished their work ahead of time and came to the Bai Family Villa in the suburbs. When they got out of the car hand in hand and walked on the red carpet into this luxurious manor, they were really shocked by the magnificent decoration inside.
Fang Qing had attended similar high-end banquets with Qin Xue in the past two years and had seen many grand scenes, but he was still attracted by the scenery here.
"Oh my god, there really is a pumpkin carriage."
Fang Qing knew that Qin Xue liked Grimm and Andersen's fairy tales, and especially liked the beautiful pictures in the storybooks. He once told her that when she got married, she must ride in a pumpkin carriage, and then, like the princesses in the fairy tales, wear gorgeous dresses and crystal shoes, dance sweetly with her beloved prince in the magnificent castle, and receive everyone's blessings.
Looking at everything in front of him, Fang Qing was very envious, "It's great to have money..."
Wen Ning smiled and patted her hands, "If you like, I'll prepare it for you when we get married."
Fang Qing blushed, slapped his hand away, and walked forward quickly, "Who wants to marry you? You're just dreaming!"
The path leading into the manor is lined with tall pines, cypresses and bushes. The woods are filled with smoke like a fairyland, and occasionally you can see deer and rabbits jumping around.
The view gradually widened, and as a scent of flowers floated in the air, the two saw a huge circular fountain flower bed. Various colorful balloons were floating in the sky around the flower bed, and flower baskets of different colors were hanging at the bottom of the balloons.
There is a golden five-pointed star on the top of the castle in front of me, shining brightly in the sun. A star-like net of lights hangs straight down from the five-pointed star. Even though it is not dark yet, it is still very magnificent.
Following the messenger's footsteps, the two entered the banquet hall. There were already many people in the hall at this time, and the arrival of Fang Qing and Wen Ning immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Although Fang Qing met many famous ladies with Qin Xue, the people he met were limited because of work. But Wen Ning was the vice president of SDK Group Asia Pacific. Although he was also a newcomer, this identity was enough to attract many people's attention. Moreover, he had participated in many meetings before. His excellent eloquence and quick thinking ability, coupled with his strong control over the market, made many people remember this young man quickly.
"Look, isn't this Xiao Wen? Come on, come on, we are just talking about you..."
"Mr. Wang, nice to meet you."
Wen Ning smiled and walked forward to shake hands. After introducing Fang Qing, he started chatting with everyone.
Seeing Wen Ning and Fang Qing standing together, people around them started to tease them.
"Xiao Wen, this person next to you..."
Wen Ning smiled and took Fang Qing's hand to introduce her to everyone, "This is my fiancée, Fang Qing."
Fang Qing couldn't refute in front of everyone, so he could only smile and greet, which caused everyone to praise him again.
"Oh, Xiao Wen, you actually have a fiancée. That's such a pity. I was planning to introduce my niece to you..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao, but I have a tiger wife at home, so I dare not do two things at once."
"Hahahaha, boy, you should be content with having such a gentle and beautiful wife..."
Just when the scene was harmonious, a very harsh voice sounded behind everyone.
"Hey, isn't this my old classmate? Long time no see, Wen Ning."
The man turned around and saw a beautiful girl named Tingting, who was dressed gorgeously, walking towards him.
It turned out to be Liu Sisi!
Seeing Liu Sisi, Fang Qing frowned subconsciously, and then glanced at Wen Ning beside him.
Wen Ning seemed to have no reaction, with a faint smile on his face, but Fang Qing keenly noticed that his hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Fang Qing remembered that Wen Ning once said that the days when he was tortured in the mental hospital left him with a deep psychological trauma, and he could not suppress the fear whenever he thought of it.
Upon seeing this, Fang Qing immediately placed his hand over his, and the two of them interlocked their fingers. To outsiders, it looked like they were holding hands very sweetly, but no one knew about the trembling of Wen Ning's fingertips and the sweat on his back.
Wen Ning subconsciously glanced at Fang Qing, and seeing the concern in her eyes, he smiled slightly.
Then he turned around and looked directly at Liu Sisi who was walking towards him, still smiling, but there was a barely perceptible coldness in that smile.
"It's Miss Liu. Long time no see."
When Liu Sisi saw Wen Ning's reply, she immediately smiled even more brightly and twisted her waist to move closer.
"Senior Wen, why are you being so formal? Just call me Sisi."
Wen Ning stepped back slightly, "I don't dare, but shouldn't it be time for graduation defense? Why did you return home?"
When Liu Sisi heard Wen Ning's words, her expression froze.
The most important thing for studying abroad is the final graduation defense. Even if many rich kids are lazy, they still have to prepare well and attend the defense. But now she actually returned to her country on such an important day. If there is no reasonable explanation, it is really unacceptable.
Before, her family sent her to study abroad just to gild her resume. Although she came back early, she had always pretended to be highly educated. Now, Wen Ning had exposed her true colors so openly. How could she survive in the circle in the future?
Just as Liu Sisi curled the corner of her mouth and was about to find an excuse to cover it up, the people around her were a little surprised.
Because in their impression, Wen Ning has always been gentle, tolerant and polite to others. Those who would expose other people's secrets as soon as they meet each other either have a very close relationship with them, or they just dislike each other.
But if they looked closely at their expressions, they would all squinted their eyes and secretly laugh. There must be something wrong between these two people! Thinking of the SDK Group behind Wen Ning, everyone had different thoughts, but they all secretly staggered their steps and slowly distanced themselves from Liu Sisi in the middle.
